Rules and guidance

This section provides information on legal and regulatory texts, including:

Laws and regulations adopted by each Member State to implement the provisions of Directive 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. These texts outline the basic legislative and regulatory framework for supervised credit institutions and investment firms.

Administrative rules. The term "administrative rules" is used in a variety of ways in different contexts. For the purposes of supervisory disclosure it refers to documents that instruct supervised entities on how to satisfy legislative and regulatory requirements.

General guidance. This includes explicit disclosure requirements from Directive 2013/36/EU, and explanations deemed necessary to set out how the rules should be applied by institutions. General guidance also includes any other relevant information that competent authorities may choose to release in order to improve the understanding of the new capital adequacy framework.

Options and national discretions
